The V12 song is amazing and I added a Capristo to enhance it further

I wouldn't call the AMG GTS a downgrade, just a car that costs less. The quality and looks are polarizing IMHO and the interior is tremendous. I love the amenities inside and the way the cockpit feels. The car drive impressively with the 53% rear weight bias and steering is equal to the FF. It emits a very aggressive roar with pops and burbles on overrun. You should drive it and let me know... its very fast too (not Huracan fast) but its respectful.
Thanks a lot! I had a Capristo but moved to Miesterschaft on the 599. Agreed the V12 is amazing, and the 599's electronics are from the 90's, I cant believe put into a car of this caliber. I shouldn't have said "downgrade", couldn't find the right word for it though I didnt think Mercedes could draw me back in, but I am really impressed with the looks, and the cockpit, I have to go drive one. I'm mostly concerned with its resale...I think this car will lose more $ in the same period compared to a Ferrari V12, and some of the AMG's have taken a really hard hit on resale.
